Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip inside their heads. When they are fitted into a car that has transponder technology, the chip sends an low-level signal to the receiver close to the ignition switch. This causes the engine to begin, when it is programmed for it. Transponder chips are made to guard against theft of cars and that is why the majority of modern vehicles use them.

Transponder technology was first used during World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine whether aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, the majority of new vehicles come equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate them.

If you own a vehicle with this type of security system, it is recommended to always keep a spare transponder key in your car, as it will only work when the chip is read properly. It isn't foolproof. There are some who have discovered ways to trick this system. They come with kits and tutorials explaining how to bypass the transponder with wires and electrical relays.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry technology, and are becoming more popular in a variety of vehicles. The key fob can be stored in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob then communicates with the car, removing the immobiliser and allowing the engine to begin.

There are some downsides for proximity key systems however. If the fob of your key is damaged or lost, it cannot be used to start your car. It can be costly to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced regularly.

Another drawback of proximity keys technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect process we're familiar with when it comes to physical keys. When you insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys you'll need to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it.

Despite their disadvantages the proximity key technology is an amazing invention for those who do not want to be locked out of their vehicle. In case of emergencies, always keep an additional key on hand if you own a proximity-key. If you require a new key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about replacement costs and to get a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of hiding keys that are not in the home are over and landlords can now provide tenants with greater security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synced with back-end software that allows landlords to track the entry and exit of tenants. These systems also make it easier for tenants who are in emergency to gain access to the property.

A keyless entry system works by transmitting encrypted signals an internal receiver within the car. The receiver interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It also can detect the presence of drivers and adjust the vehicle settings to accommodate their needs. It will automatically shut the door if, for example the driver is carrying a bag in his hands.

Certain keyless entry systems could be vulnerable to attacks despite being extremely secure. For instance a replay attack occurs when the initial remote control signal is recorded and repeated to the device at a later point. This can be prevented by incorporating an algorithm into the keyless entry system that makes sure that each transmission is distinct from the previous one.

Another advantage of the keyless entry system is that it doesn't require changing the locks after every tenant turnover. It is expensive to change locks for every tenant turnover and it is therefore sensible that landlords try to avoid this expense as much as is possible. With a keyless system all you have to do is reset the code. This is a lot quicker and simpler than changing the lock.
